Not only can you solar charge or crank it but it can also be charged off of a computer via mini-usb cable and both my AC & DC Motorola Razr cell phone chargers works very well too. They claim that a 10 hour cable charge will render 8 hours of playtime but this radio went over 24! It also has a charger cord to charge a Nokia cell phone but I'm not sure if there are adapter cords for other brands. They don't say. It's built very sturdily with rubberized non-slip exterior and is weatherproof. It's a very nice product at a reasonable price. Review: So far, so good - I was a bit disappointed that the Freeplay Companion does not have a windup spring which then runs the mini generator at a consistent rate the way I'm told the original did. It is also much smaller than I expected. I would have liked emergency band included in the radio, since I bought it for emergency use. It would be nice to catch the weather radio broadcasts, etc. I'm not sure how valuable the phone charging option will be. I will have to get an adapter if I want to use it for that. Ultimately, the true test will be in how durable it proves over time. At more than four times the cost of similar emergency radios, I hope it proves more reliable and durable than others I have bought. ## Features - The Freeplay Companion Radio promises assured listening, anytime, anywhere. - This compact, robust radio boasts a rubberized body with recessed control knobs for impact resistance and comfort. - Big on functionality, but small in size, the Companion is a radio - Offering a choice of self-charge, solar and external recharge power options - Water resistant ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0016OVN1O | | Additional Features | Built, Rechargeable, Water Resistant | | Brand | Freeplay Energy | | Color | Black | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 22 Reviews | | Display Type | LED | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Item Weight | 0.22 kg | | Manufacturer | Freeplay Energy | | Mfr Part Number | NM-038-67-FO | | Model Number | NM-038-67-FO | | Power Source | Battery Powered, Solar Powered | | Radio Bands Supported | FM/Shortwave | | Special Feature | Built, Rechargeable, Water Resistant | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer Warranty | ## Images ![Companion Self-Sufficient Radio, Flashlight and Cellphone Charger (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61t2RNADtnL.jpg) ![Companion Self-Sufficient Radio, Flashlight and Cellphone Charger (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611O3AmgKWL.jpg) ![Companion Self-Sufficient Radio, Flashlight and Cellphone Charger (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b6rzRICaL.jpg) ![Companion Self-Sufficient Radio, Flashlight and Cellphone Charger (Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SgLEE+d-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Green AM-FM Radio *by G***S on August 27, 2009* I bought this neat little radio to use on camping trips and it works so well I'm using it at home too.

It is also much smaller than I expected. I would have liked emergency band included in the radio, since I bought it for emergency use.

I compared this radio together with a Eton scorpion, Eton FRX3, Kaito KA500 Voyager and cc Solar observer all in the $50 range. The result of my testing in NJ was a toss up between this radio and the Eton scorpion. Either radio is a good choice but I preferred the Freeplay because I felt the quality was better and I prefer the analog dials, although the Freeplay does not have NOAA channels and is difficult to find locally. If you have tested these two radios against others, I'd be interested in hearing your opinions as I was only willing to test so many. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/8765776-companion-self-sufficient-radio-flashlight-and-cellphone-charger-black](https://www.desertcart.us/products/8765776-companion-self-sufficient-radio-flashlight-and-cellphone-charger-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
